Elliptic bindings for dynamically convex Reeb flows on the real projective three-space
Abstract
The first result of this paper is that every contact form on sufficiently -close to a dynamically convex contact form admits an elliptic-parabolic closed Reeb orbit which is -unknotted, has self-linking number and transverse rotation number in . Our second result implies that any -unknotted periodic orbit with self-linking number of a dynamically convex Reeb flow on a lens space of order is the binding of a rational open book decomposition, whose pages are global surfaces of section. As an application we show that in the planar circular restricted three-body problem for energies below the first Lagrange value and large mass ratio, there is a special link consisting of two periodic trajectories for the massless satellite near the smaller primary -- lunar problem -- with the same contact-topological and dynamical properties of the orbits found by Conley in~\cite{conley} for large negative energies. Both periodic trajectories bind rational open book decompositions with disk-like pages which are global surfaces of section. In particular, one of the components is an elliptic-parabolic periodic orbit.
